Kansas City, Missouri (CNN) – Elder William Walker slipped white booties over his black wing-tip shoes and instructed his guests to do the same as he led them into the newest Mormon temple in the world.

This day was the first chance the public had to see inside the sacred space for the area’s 49,000 Mormons, and it was also one of the last.

On May 6, when Thomas S. Monson, the head of the 14 million member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, dedicates this temple, the doors will close forever to the public. The church said it expects as many as 100,000 visitors in Kansas City before the temple will be closed to the public.

After that, only temple-recommended Mormons will be able to walk through the heavy wooden and stained-glass doors.

“This is a sacred space, set apart place for only those who are devout followers of the faith,” Walker said.

For Mormons, temples serve as places of contemplation, instruction and worship experiences, like weddings and posthumous baptisms.

The 67-year-old Walker is the executive director of the Temple Department, and he is the point man for the church’s 137 temples.

Walker is a top official in the LDS church as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy and he reports directly to Monson. The Canadian-born hockey fanatic has been a lifelong member of the church. He graduated from Brigham Young University, served a Mormon mission to Japan and spent time in the private sector working in securities and investment banking before being called to serve the church full-time in 2002.

Kansas City’s temple is the latest to open. The church has announced it will build 29 temples across five continents. Construction is under way in Paris and Rome, and temples are planned for Peru and South Africa.

“We’re building temples where the church is grown and have a concentration of members,” he said.

Outside the new Mormon temple in Kansas City, Missouri.

Inside the temple the required first stop is the Recommend Desk. After the dedication, only Mormons who have a recommend card are able to enter and participate in worship. The personalized cards are given by local church leaders to adherents who profess to be living in accordance with church teachings.

As he explained the process, Walker reached into his wallet, pushed his Utah driver’s license aside and pulled out his recommend card, which was endorsed by Monson, his bishop. Walker said his credit-card-sized recommend card, like all others, is only good for two years.

CNN was invited by church officials to tour the temple with Walker before its dedication. The church denied CNN's request to film inside the space, saying it was against church policy. The LDS church provided still images after the tour, which accurately depicted key parts of the temple. In a rare move, CNN was permitted to film inside the front of the temple at the Recommend Desk, but no farther.

"It's not about secret. It's about sacred,” Walker said after the tour, making what the church sees as a key distinction. “We feel that it's a very sacred and special place and therefore it is reserved for those worship functions and those ordinances that take place in the temple. It's not about secret."

Walker said the policy is not unlike that for Shinto shrines in Japan, where he served his mission.

But it's a thin line between sacred and secret. Public tours of the temple are only available when they are first built or undergo massive renovations. After that, outsiders and Mormons who are not temple recommended are kept out, even from wedding ceremonies.

In the sealing room, where eternal weddings take place, Walker points out the altar at the center of the room. The bride and groom kneel facing each other and the officiant stands off to the side. The room is richly decorated with Swarovski crystal chandeliers and massive gilded mirrors on either side of the room, and Walker raves about the design on the white carpet, carefully explaining how local artisans cut the meticulous pattern by hand.

Despite the grand size of the building, each room is small: This is the biggest of the three sealing rooms, and its capacity is just 49 people.

Guests are welcome at Sunday worship at one of the church’s 18,000 meeting houses, Walker is quick to note. The temple, he observes, “is a sacred, special place that’s unique. There are only 137 of these temples in all the world.”

The temple also contains a gleaming baptismal font. Though it’s a point of pride for Mormons, it has been controversial elsewhere. A church ceremony called “proxy baptisms” by Mormons includes posthumous baptisms of Jews, some of whom have protested the practice.

The baptismal font at the newest Mormon temple.

However, in Mormon doctrine, baptism is essential for salvation. While converts to the faith are baptized in services at local wards, the weekly meeting place for services open to the public, proxy baptisms take place only in the temple and in private.

The proxy baptisms are supposed to be for Mormons’ ancestors who were not of the faith. Walker said the baptism serves as an invitation to accept Mormonism as an avenue into heaven.

At the temple, Walker took his visitors through the process as it is supposed to work.

The font rests on 12 oxen, which he said represent the tribes of Israel.

Adherents change into white gowns he jokingly referred to as "jumpsuits," provided by the temple. A male priest leads the proxy into the waist-high water, gives the blessing and the name of the ancestor, then the proxy is lowered into the water, fully immersed, then brought up to the surface. The desk next to the font has a small monitor and a light. That person's job is to record the act for the church's central database.

When the temple begins operation, Walker said, this is a scene that will play out “hundreds of times a day.”

But some Mormons have used the church’s extensive genealogy database to baptize others who are not Mormon ancestors, such as the murdered Jewish reporter Daniel Pearl and holocaust victims like Anne Frank. It’s a practice that has outraged Jewish leaders.

“When people violate the church policy of doing baptisms for those who our leaders have said we’re not going to do that, they’re acting on their own in contradiction of church policy,” he said. “We’re unhappy about that. We love our Jewish friends. We don’t want to offend them or anyone else by our religious practices.”

“We’re sorry. We live by our word and when we say we’re going to do something, we’re going to try and do it,” Walker said.

He promised disciplinary action.

“We’re now tracking those who’ve done this contrary to church policy and we’re going to shut down their access to the church’s database, Family Search, so they can’t do this.”

He acknowledges interest in proxy baptisms, and other Mormon practices, has spiked thanks to Mormon Mitt Romney’s run for president.

While the church takes no position on party politics nor allows its officials to endorse candidates, Walker can see some good coming out of Romney's run for the White House.

“I think it’s perfectly understandable people who are considering him would want to know more about the church he espouses,” he said. “In many ways it may be a good thing that people will want to know more. Maybe some of the old ideas about the church that have persisted in American culture can change.”

Thanks, i forgot about the magic undies! The undies, the symbols on the undies, the placement of the undies, the ceremony for the undies all knee deep from satanism rites from the black book.....Dont believe me, # 1 look it up for your self and do the comparison. #2 It is a fact in the history books that Joseph Smith took various rituals from several religions when putting together mormonism, satanism being one of them. I will let you do the research find the truth yourself, then again they will say the undoes are too sacred to talk about and all the history books are false because they are evil......

Prove to me God does not have a name? Prove to me gods wife does not have a name? prove to me the planet god lives on does not have a name? Prove to me LSD does not believe in multiple gods? Prove to me their is not a description in great detail what the planet looks like that god lives on, prove to me their is not a blood oath all members have to swear by and follow? Prove to me the actual membership levels not including the dead, kicked out, dropped out, and the branched off mormons who refuse to follow the new teachings because they do not even believe the new church are mormons? prove to me that disciples or churches leaders didnt change church teachings that Joseph smith taught? Prove to me that polygamy is not in the scripture? There is alot of prove me's that you nor anyone can even come close to proving other than saying....its too sacred or everyone is evil......

By definition a religion is a belief system that has been around for over 100 years and has over 1 million followers.

Hey china, sorry the lsd web site claims 14.4 million BUT that is their website.....

According to the Mormon church's own website, there are 28,424 congregations (wards/branches) If you figure an average of 200 active attending members (and that is a very generous assumption) then that only adds up to 5,684,800 people. That is less than half of the 13 million that the church LOVES to tout to everyone. Where are the other 7,315,200 people? Well, most of them don't believe anymore, and just don't go, and don't even consider themselves Mormon. Some are actually dead, but the Mormon church lost track of them. If the Mormon church loses track of you, they keep you on the records until you would have been 110. Now you also have to take into account that many of the people who attend regularly, do so only to keep the peace with their family (spouse, parents, whatever) or just because it is the only social circle they have, but they don't really believe it. So in reality, the number of REAL believing Mormons is FAR less than what the Mormon church claims.

April 8, 2012 at 4:05 am |

Steve

According to your own criterion, they are a religion as they have been well established since the early 1800's and have over 20 million adherents. Also as to why they don't go to those middle east countries? They are fervent believers, not suicidal. You should read atleast wikipedia before you spout ignorance.

Does anybody do their homework when they talk about something anymore? Cnn what your deal? your suppose to have reporters? You keep hammering home about post posthumous baptism, get off it....The mormon church apologised, accepted they were in the wrong, so move on to something more scandalous like... Why does the mormons believe that men will inherit their own planets and become a god over another planet when they die. Lets not forget the more wives they have the greater status on their planet they will become. Dont believe me? Next time you get a knock on your door by the two mormons asking to talk about their religion to you, ask the following, what is the name of your god? ...what is the name of the planet your god lives on?......What is the name of your gods wife and what planet does she live on?

Knowledge is Power

Mormons have 12 "Articles of Faith" that all children are to have memorized by the age of 12 (if possible). PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE VERY 1ST ARTICLE. In fact, read them all carefully and explain to me how Mormons are not Christian and are cultish and/or dangerous? Be honest with yourself........

1) We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

2) We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.

3) We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.

4) We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5) We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.

6) We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

7) We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

8) We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

9) We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

10) We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

11) We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

12) We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Really??

Has anyone ever read the definition of a cult?? Well. It's a group of people with the same beliefs. That makes every single religion a 'cult', not to mention any clubs, organizations, play groups, AA, etc. If the people of the LDS faith are in a 'cult', so are the baptists, the Catholics, the Amish, and the atheists.

In this country, we are blessed to have the freedom of religion. Everyone has a right to choose. I don't understand why people are So against this faith. Have any of you ever even went to Mormon.org or LDS.org? Maybe you should. All these people that say "well this person who was a mormon did this bad thing to my 2nd cousin's best friend's dog".... Would you say the same thing about Catholics or Atheists? The people of the LDS faith believe that no one is perfect, but the teachings of the church are....just like EVERY OTHER RELIGION believes about their faith. Please read up on the actual teachings of this church before you go accusing people of ridiculous things. Also, Thomas S. Monson is the prophet in this religion. Mitt Romney does not control any part of the church!... But you would know that had you gone to Mormon.org and actually paid attention.

I think whatever underwear Mitt Romney wears is his own personal business. And no one believes that the underwear members of the LDS faith wear are "magical"....but you would know that if you went to mormon.org and actually read up about the accusations you are making.

I see you really hate haters! Kinda fun to exaggerate and slander people who exaggerate and slander, isn't it? Nothing to make you feel better or smarter than others than by insulting their attempts to act better or smarter

This war on woman's contraceptives, blacks and wanting woman to earn less money than men do to force them out of the workplace and thereby reduce men's pay in the process appears to me to be a concerted effect by big money Mormons as well as other fundamentalists to shape our country in the ways it's founder of the Morman Church intended. It's coming soon more than one wife with no finacial security and no rights....Don't think it can't

Really??

If you would like to know the actual basic beliefs of the LDS church, I suggest you read the 13 articles of faith that has been published. One of them is believing in "honoring, obeying and sustaining the law". This faith does not believe in Polygamy, and believes in obeying the laws of the land and has no intention of changing the laws to include polygamy...but you would know that if you had actually looked up the beliefs on mormon.org or lds.org before making these accusations.

The CNN Belief Blog covers the faith angles of the day's biggest stories, from breaking news to politics to entertainment, fostering a global conversation about the role of religion and belief in readers' lives. It's edited by CNN's Daniel Burke with contributions from Eric Marrapodi and CNN's worldwide news gathering team.
